    Quite a few boats getting out and about from West Bay today.

    Don't leave it too long or you'll miss the summer.

    I know, but someone's got to live around there.

    Mind you, I'm getting closer to the ideal age for residency.

    I take it you do most of your driving Off Peak, Brian?

    Any other time is purgatory!

    Off-Peak, yes, mostly. The grockles haven't had their B&B breakfasts by the time I reach Torbay.

    Got the house on the market and may well move down to around NA to cut down on the travelling. (Poor old sod, I know)
